Catherine Tate's Quotes

• On accepting her new position as the Doctor Who companion: I am delighted to be returning to Doctor Who. I had a blast last Christmas and look forward to traveling again through time and space with that nice man from Gallifrey.
• If in five years' time the only thing that I've done that is remembered is a teenager saying, 'Am I bovvered?' then I'd worry.
• If you want more people to come to the theatre, don't put the prices at £50. You have to make theatre inclusive, and at the moment the prices are exclusive. Putting TV stars in plays just to get people in is wrong. You have to have the right people in the right parts. Stunt casting and being gimmicky does the theatre a great disservice. You have to lure people by getting them excited about a theatrical experience.
